Penske Truck Leasing has introduced Catalyst AI, an AI platform that aims to transform fleet management by providing real-time insights into fleet performance. This platform allows fleet managers to compare their fleet's performance with similar fleets in real-time, enabling them to make data-driven decisions to optimize fuel efficiency, fleet utilization, and overall performance.

According to Penske, 77% of transportation professionals have traditionally relied on historical and industry benchmark reports to inform their fleet planning and procurement decisions. However, this process can be time-consuming and may not provide accurate comparisons for specific fleets.
